People will probably get lost in specific majors and percentages but I think the take home point most people somehow don't know is roughly 60% of high school graduates and 60% of college graduates are women in the United States.

That's a giant achievement gap that should be a concern for everyone. Not because women are doing well, because it means men are not. Functionally a 40 to 60 ratio shows you that you are 50% more likely to graduate from high school or college if you are born female rather than born male.

There are ways to break down this data further but for most people they tend to obscure the point by noting things like the achievement gap is larger amount some minority groups (black men and hispanic men compared to black women or hispanic women). But the gap is enormous among whites as a whole too. That's a problem period. And the gap is not particularly new, its been there for decades now, it just continues to grow.

A problem for even discussing the issue has been that education fields have been dominated by a view of education that is female centric and tends to be left of center with respect to their targeted groups for special concern (some minorities, almost all women, and other religious or sexual groups are generally considered more in need of interventions or consideration). But even for a purely self interested middle class woman, you ought to be concerned that your brothers and sons are less likely to graduate high school and that you might not be able to find a men educated enough for your desire for social standing to find satisfactory (men will willingly marry less educated women, but women are much more reluctant to do the same).
